What are you currently reading....

[rhino185]

I was just wondering if anybody else on this site was reading anything at the moment and if so then you could post what you're reading.

I'm reading 'Phantoms' by Dean Koontz. It's definitely creepy. Almost finished with it. And I can tell you this, if you like scary stuff you should check this out. After I finish this book up I plan on reading the Hobbit.


So if you're reading anything post what it is.

The Canon by Natalie Angier. Stupid summer reading assignments.

[Pashos]

I just finished reading Feed by M.T. Anderson because it was summer reading. It wasn't that bad it was weird though.

[n1n3t33nd3lta]

The Regulators - Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)

It's pretty good so far, I just hope the ending is as spectacular as it's leading up to be.

[arCtiK AsSaSsIn]

I just finished reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Now I am reading the second book, New Moon.

Great series btw.

[nobodieshero]

Well I got about a million books on my to read list but currently I am reading "This Is Your Brain On Music" by Daniel.J.Levitin...
So far I am giving it two thumbs way down. He is just outright boring the shit out of me. Thats also saying a lot because I don't read phantasy novels. Like to enjoy my books feeling lie i am learning sommin from em.

'Chain Mail: Addicted to You' by Hiroshi Ishizaki

Good book so far, it's about a girl who chooses to be different from everybody, when she gets an invite to write an interactive story with someone she doesn't know via message. The interactive story is about the girl, her boyfriend, Stalker that stalks the girl, and a cop who follows the stalker. The person whom she doesn't know plays the stalker while she plays the girl. But the story becomes real.....

Well, we've got the Prose edition. I'm pretty sure we're reading a majority of them, but it's select stories that our teacher will give to us. Was it a good book in your opinion? I've heard many things about it.

[DTwirler]

The Elves of Cintra, part of the Genesis of Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks. Very good read!

Does prose edition mean that it's the version not written in Middle English? Because if so then that's the version I read. I enjoyed some of the tales, there are a few bits that drag on, the pages long descriptions of someone praying to a certain god can get tiresome however.

One of my favourite books from the pre 1900's though is Voltaires Candide. I think it was written in 1759. It's a very good book. Lots of disemboweling.

[Korix]

I am and will always be reading Maxim. That's just me.

I actually really enjoyed The Canterbury Tales :p Not sure if that makes me weird or not?

But, I'm reading a few right now:

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
The Sound of Laughter - Peter Kay
The Altman Code - Robert Ludlum

[WhiteKnightMike]

Reading Origins of WWII by W. Churchill - this really interests me - in fact the only thing that interests me in history

[Aprimex77]

Rising Sun by Michael Crichton. It's been on my shelf for years now. Recently I finished A World Out of Time by Larry Niven.

[jonnyMAGNUM]

i just finished reading The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks and now i started up on the Amped Up: The Aly & AJ Biography :cool:
Awesome. I'm in the middle of World War Z by Max Brooks and Steven King's Skeleton Crew, a book full of short stories, which includes The Mist.

[Ryot Control]

Men's Health is a great magazine.

As for books, starting, "The Art of Seduction" It's an awesome premise where you can actually categorize personality types and how to talk to them. Not only for dating, but I'm looking into the ways you can apply it to the workplace to get what you want.

[Marx0r]

I'm reading an internet forum.

On the rare occasions that I don't have ready internet access, I've been reading Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. That guy is the shit.

[gamergirl11]

Though, tbh, I'll probably have to read something in English when I start college next week. :(

Last book I read was the last Harry Potter :rolleyes:

[Jamie Solo]

I just finished re-reading all the Halo books. My 2 star wars books from Amazon should of come by now but they havent, so I'm re-reading Superior Saturday while I wait.

Yeah, it's all in modern English.

I just finished the Prologue during Study Hall today, and I've already gotta say that it does drag on. I'm not looking forward to the Knight's story that is a good 60 pages long. I've got to read it over the weekend. :(

[jig8]

Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen, Book 8 in a 10 book series, Its called 'Reapers Gale' and is fricking AWESOME! as are the rest in the serires. I highly recomend them to anyone who enjoys a deep and complex story.

[Gorjira]

Just finished reading Breaking Dawn. Twilight series, not bad books.

[laundryman]

The most recent book I read was The Alchemist for school.

[rhino185]

Now I'm reading Odd Thomas. It's pretty interesting from what I've read. He can see the dead and ghosts. Seems pretty good.

[IMAMEX]

I switch it up between

Death of A Revolutionary: Che Guevara's Last Mission by Richard L. Harris

The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From The Living Dead by Max Brooks

The second one I've read already but it's always good to brush up on your zombie defense planning.

[Illution]

I finally got world war z and am currently reading it. It's honestly one of the greatest books I've ever read. It goes so deep it's insane. Anyways, I plan on reading the Zombie Survival Guide after this, just to get my mind refreshed :) hahaha

[master_shake_350]

I never used to read until i found out that Jeremy Clarkson wrote books!

Now i am reading Motorworld By Jeremy Clarkson.

[Android Christ]

I'm currently re-reading House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski. If you don't know what its about, check out its Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves) or something, because its a hard book to explain to the uninitiated. In simplest terms, its a story about a guy telling you stories about a guy he didn't know who is dead who is telling a story about a guy with a super weird house. Not super weird like it makes you want to kill people or it talks to you (per se), but weird like the inside of the house measures 5/16 of a inch larger than the outside, rooms and doorways leading to other rooms that don't exist start appearing, etc.

Give it a read if you have a few months to kill, because its definitely not something you read in a sitting. Some of the pages are blank, some have only musical notes on them, and some are written in code. It's a blast to have a go at.
